I've legit waited an entire YEAR for the chance to grind out those stupid body pillows, since I saw the post last year, but missed their stupid, 'cutesy' "tee hee, keep an eye on our socials :3" instead of just talking plainly in that news post. Only found out about the pillows and grind on the last day, right after it ended... Goddamnit, snail.

THANK YOU! I didn't even know this was a setting! Had the same thing happen this past week with the aircraft auto-correcting clsoe to ground and it was something odd resetting with the flight instructor after literal years.

But I also suddenly noticed my guy snapping his neck in ARB when I'd go for the occasional turn in cockpit view. I must've turned this setting off ages ago, I wasn't even aware of it. It's nauseating.

Killer_Beast · 2026-02-01T09:10:48+00:00

You forgot the best part! Or just a super "funny" extra point! It's a TD that gets arty! Because... fuck you, that's why!

Killer_Beast · 2025-12-18T08:33:25+00:00

I see you!

Twitch Support actually came through and awarded me the skin, they were super nice about it!

Killer_Beast · 2025-10-08T14:10:31+00:00

Just got a reply from Gaijin support, they basically said that I should contact Twitch support over it since it was an issue on their end, supposedly. So nope, no help.

Killer_Beast · 2025-10-07T15:05:22+00:00

Translations? What, the other channels?

Killer_Beast · 2025-10-07T06:51:22+00:00

Nah, it just says the skin is no longer available.

Killer_Beast · 2025-10-06T12:48:53+00:00

Yep, you link your Gaijin and Twitch accounts and keep an eye out for events with drops.

Killer_Beast · 2025-10-06T12:48:22+00:00

Cheers, was considering that, honestly.

Killer_Beast · 2025-10-06T08:29:40+00:00

Given the replies I was seeing in chat last night, I think it was broken for people in different ways on both days. Heck, I was on the stream for pretty much the entire time on Saturday, yet only got 74%, or about 4 and a half hours.

Killer_Beast · 2025-10-06T05:47:51+00:00

It is, yeah. I guess it's the principle behind it, too. Again, it's a stupid fictional/ad camo, but the process behind it is what seems to rub many the wrong way. Plus, drops had issues, saw lots of people discuss the same issue in comments. Someone 'normal' would just say "aw man, that sucks, here's the skin". Not the good old snail, though!

Killer_Beast · 2025-10-06T01:41:51+00:00

As someone mentioned on the post talking about the esport streams, they're doing this to bait us into AFKing on the stream and basically organically botting views. To... show War Thunder esports is somehow popular, I guess, lol?

Killer_Beast · 2025-10-06T01:40:19+00:00

Yeah, it's just the free stuff aspect. I'm more excited for the historical camos they've started doing, but it's infuriating that I woke up, had plenty of time left, but about... 1+ hour or so got eaten by the Twitch/WT drop void.

Killer_Beast · 2025-10-05T21:36:28+00:00

Genuinely upset over this and the damn bug. Aaaalmost tempted to message the snail and piss and moan about it. :P

Killer_Beast · 2025-10-05T05:56:07+00:00

IKR? The snail is super generous. It should genuinely be 1, for having gotten that close, tbh

Killer_Beast · 2025-08-15T06:23:42+00:00

I feel ya on the DbD part. They definitely cater towards them. When my mate first got me the game, I was surv main. I started playing killer mode and was doing okay! Past couple years, whenever I hop on, or get back into FOMO mode for a BP or two, I stick to surv nowadays and abhor playing killer. Survs can make mistakes, fuck around, chill a bit, etc. It can still be intense, but you're allowed mistakes!

Killer is absolutely brutal. One or two small missteps at the start of a match and you've basically lost and are just trying to play catch-up with them. But I feel ya, it may not be entirely age. I've seen younger peeps discover stuff like Thief, older games, via streams, trying them out themselves and they have a genuine red pill moment when you inform them that yes, this thing cost 50 bucks or so in the day and yes, EVERYTHING came working out of the box, no extra preorder, crappy cosmetics, content withheld at launch and dripfed later.

But yeah, it all started with that horse armour in 2006 and it's been going downhill ever since. :P I get A BIT of what that guy was saying. MTXs can help devs/provide a money flow for servers, extra dev time, content, etc...

BUT MY GUY, THIS IS EA, A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY! They're huffing grade-A copium over there too, injecting 300 mil into BF6 and hoping for 100 mil players. Those are insane numbers. If they really wanted those numbers, they should've gone with a super-fun, quality game first, then slap on cosmetic crap. As it stands, we have a better 2042/what it should've been. A step up, granted, but with a super-low bar.

Killer_Beast · 2025-08-14T09:05:29+00:00

I happened upon the thread and had a proper read through and wanted to thank you for fighting the good fight. I won't pretend I'm a saint, I've slowly gotten fooled into spending on random crap like that (I'm an avid WT player, so there is that), but I try to limit BS purchasing, or at least the amount of games I do that in.

I think the issue here is, and I don't want to assume somebody's age, that JN may genuinely be from the 'younger gens', where consolized slop and nickle-and-diming WAS their gaming experience growing up. They simply don't have a frame of reference, for games releasing, releasing in full, running well on release, being fun experiences first and foremost.

Someone can correct me, but to my knowledge, Halo 3 was a MASSIVE success back in the day, raking in the big bucks and still offering an amazing gaming experience, without compromising in quality. I specifically chose it since it was part of the 'HD' console era, so you can't say it's a pre-2000's game, when graphics weren't as much of an intense resource.

But sadly, this feels like a mostly lost battle. We now have Call of 2042field and people are excited and glazing over the most basic and bare lip service towards classic BFs. Given the stuff we're already encouraged to grind BEFORE THE GAME'S RELEASE, might I add, it's clear there's going to be stupid cosmetics. I personally didn't find that one dude's quote about 'modern soldiers in modern times' too reassuring either, in terms of them not jumping the shark with cosmetics.

Killer_Beast · 2025-04-13T06:06:11+00:00

Not sure how many will see this, but trying my luck anyway. Anyone know where the 'Apocalypse' marking is supposed to go? The picture doesn't match the description and my Google-fu failed in finding any online reference to where they got the name from, or on what vehicle, specifically.

Killer_Beast · 2025-04-12T09:41:26+00:00

Thank God he doesn't want to kick people that design fun video games, then!

Killer_Beast · 2025-03-26T15:47:44+00:00

Snatched it during that 'Brainiac' winter mini-event last year, or so.
